Where is Teacher Sherry?

School is madness right now.
I am in my intensive teaching month... I am teaching 26.3 hours a week... that is only teaching... that doesn't include prep time, or just time I am at school between classes and such... madness. Plus in order to get paid for over time you have to teach over 26.5. I am JUST under. :(

However, in my class I need to tell you about my latest lesson with my Wake Up 3A class... and yes, I realize you have no idea what wake up means... it is the title of the book I teach... it is also one of the lowest level books... I believe wake up goes up until 6B.
Anywho. I had to teach the concept of on, in and under. I also had to teach bedroom, closet, dresser, and bed. So in the text book there were various pictures of these items. Also, with these items they had various things on, in and under them. I had to teach, "the boy is in the closet." It made me giggle a little (not out loud though, good god!), the graphic didn't help either with the boy looking sad in the closet and the other boy outside looking weirdly at him. Well, they were just not getting it. I was pointing at pictures, trying to draw them on the board, so finally I started using things in the classroom as props. I took one of the students chairs and stood on top of it... then said, "where is Teacher Sherry?" They all yelled the correct response, "Teacher Sherry is on the chair!" Then I took the chair and put it above my head. Again, this worked really well and they responded with "Teacher Sherry is under the chair!" Very pleased that I got them to understand these concepts after a frustrating lesson, I got to the concept of "in". I couldn't get in the chair (so sitting on it instead of standing) without them confusing it with "on"... so looking around the room ANDDD the only option I had was the closet. I had ten 7 year olds yelling "Teacher Sherry is in the closet!"

Thought that might make you laugh a little.
